Nov. *7— There srs no developments today In dicating a probable adjustment of the dispute between the four railroad ,brotherhoods and the Nashville Chat* tanooga and St. Louis Railroad and tonight Representatives oS the men ■aid a strike would be called soon un less loon unforeseen way was found to bring the road and the men to gether. > “Our cards are on the table: if the ■trike vote now being taken enys ■trike, then. It will only .be a matter of hours" was the terse way a broth erhood representative' • spoke of the Situation. The result of the vote Is •xpected to be known in twenty-four hours . The railroad declined to discuss grievances with a Joint committee of the engineers, firemen's, trainmen's ghd conductors’ brotherhoods, claiming their contracts provided that grtev .ances should be handled with the in dividual organizations. The strike vote was then ordered. Peytoa Explains Position. President Peyton, explaining the roads position, said last night that the agreements with the brotherhoods specified that not more than two of the orders should combine In ap pealing to the General Manager on a grievance affecting one organization, and that the road "declined to con sent to the virtual surrender of pend ing contracts." Brotherhood men have aet made a formal statement of their ■Us of the controversy. The direct cause of the strike-vote call was the refusal of the road to discuss with the Joint brotherhood committee questions of switching In the Memphis yards: employment of hostlers at certain points: reinstate ment of two discharged employes and alleged violations of agreements re garding overtime. There are fifteen hundred operatives employed In the four branches of the service represented In the controversy between the railroad and the four brotherhoods. Practically all are mem •ben of the brotherhoods. The main linos of the system extend from Hickman, Ky„ and Memphis to At lanta via Nashville and Chattanooga. PAT DAT NOV. XS.

HOOF AND MOUTH DISEASE SHOWS INSTOCK YARDS Officials Concerned Over Reports; Country Only Recently Declared Free From Dread Malady WASHINGTON. Nov. 27—It will be several days before the federal ex pertf can determine whether cattle held at Kansas City have foot and mouth disease, said a department of agriculture statement Issued late to day. Inoculation tests are being made at Kansas City and here. The department's advices covered only one suspected case of the dis ease, a shipment of cattle from Wau neta,. Neb., to Kansas City, via St. Joseph, Mo. Reports of local quaran tines imposed in cities In the middle west drew from the department this statement: "On the twenty first instant there were received at Kansas City stock yards one hundred and thirty cattle shipped from Wauneta, Neb., unloaded and fed at St. Joseph on the 20th. Horses Affected. "An inspection of the animals on the farm at Wauneta showed a lar-e number of horses affected with mouth lesions, but seven hundred hogs showed no lesions. No foot lesions have been found In any of the ani mals.” Officials plainly were concerned over the reports and hoped the tests would show the disease to be some malady that might easily be stamped out. It was only last March that the govern ment declared the country free of the foot and mouth disease after an epidemic that had lasted for many1 months and had cost the federal and I state governments millions of dol lars. The disease then spread over twenty-two states. Hundreds of thou sands of head of livestock were kill ed and shipping restrictions unset market conditions to a great extent.

Talk Over Cosdltloae Conditions generally |n Germany are said to have been talked over at length, and it was suggested at the department that Mr. Lansing outlin ed fully the attitude of the United States government toward the depor tation of Belgians for labor In Ger many. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, entertained ambassador Gerard and Secretary Lansing at luncheon, and tonight Mr. Gerard, the German ambassador and Joseph E. Willard, American ambassador to Spain were dinner guests at Secre tary Lansing's home. In' discussing at the state depart ment during the day the latest re ports of the possibility of a new crisis over submarine warfare, Sec retary Lansing reiterated his belief that there was no basis for the agita tion . vantageously converted into a long term obligation. It would, therefore, seem as a consequence that liquid f|inds of our banks, which should be ! available for short credit facilities to | our merchants, manufacturers and ' farmers, would be exposed to the | danger of being absorbed for other purposes to a disproportionate degree. | "The board deems it therefore, it; duty to caution the member banks that it does, not regard It in the in terest of the country at this time that they invest in foreign treasury bills of this character. The board does not consider that it is called upon to advise private inves tors but as the United States is fast 1 becoming the banker of foreign coun- I tries in all parts of the world, it takes occasion to suggest that the investor should receive full and authoritative data—particularly in the case of unse cured loans—in order that he may Judge the future intelligently in the light of present conditions and in con junction with the economic develop ments of the past. Quick Wealth "The United States has now attain ed a position of wealth and of inter national financial power, which. In the natural course of events, it could not have reached for a generation. We must be careful not to impair this pos ition of strength and independence. While it is true that a slowing down in the process of credit extension may mean some curtailment of our abnor mally stimulated export trade to cer tain countries, we need not fear that our business will fall off precipitately should we become more conservative in the matter of investing in loans be cause there are stilll hundreds of mil lions of our own and foreign securities held aboard which our investors would be glad to take over aqd more over. trade can be stimulated in oth er directions. • Duty Of Banks • In the opinion of the board, it is the duty of our banks to remain liquid in order that they may be able to continue to respond to our home requirements, the nature and scope of which none can foresee, and in or der that our present economic and financial strength may be maintain ed when, at the end of the war. we shall wish to do our full share in the work of lnternnatlonal reconstruct ion and development which will then lie ahead of us, and when a clearer ' understanding of economic conditions as they will then exist, will enable this country more safely and Intelli gently to do Its proper part in the j financial rehabilitation of the world.

" To iearn that this physical body ’ * of which we either take so much care, or mistreat and maltreat so shamefully is nothing more to the real self than a suit of clothes or a pair of shoes would be more satisfying than to Anally solve a problem In arithmetic which had heretofore been Impossible, since the so-called death is a mystery. That is exactly what Mr. L. W. Rogers, national lecturer for the Theosophical Society, who began a course of lectures at the Mont gomery Light and Water Power Company Monday night, told an audience which Ailed the hall to standing room. According to Mr. Rogers you are not really dead but very much alive and have an extremely in teresting time ahead of you In the invisible world. He explains why some people always have a grouch and kick the cat whenever it gets In the way, and why other people bring with them the lightness of heart, the brightness of spirit and good cheer. Clear Comparison*. Mr. Rogers' comparisons were so clearly put that when he con* eluded that part of his lecture dealing with certain lights and their relative effect upon materlli zatlon, there was no more mystery stout it than the photographer and a dark room. Ho explained why there are mediums and why some children hav» invisible play mates: he explained why the av- * erage person can hear and see; he told why this body In which we live has no permanent relation to the real self and why the real self goes on living with the physi cal body mutilated and maimed. To the question: “If the real self leaves the body during sleep why Is It that some people snore?” Mr. Rogers answered: “Your snoring Is a good proof that your spirit Is not In the body for If It were you would be too smart to dis turb the household.” Death not so Important. Kmphasls was laid on the assertion that death is hot the tremendously Important thing which most people Imagine it to be. After arguing the reasonableness of the assertion of Sir Oliver Lodge that the whole subject of death and the hereafter comes within the Aeld of aclentlAc research, the lecturer said that many of the conditions of life after the loss of the phy sical body are now fairly well understood. Death doss not change the real charactet of the man but leaves him with the same degree of Intelligence or Ignorance, breadth or narrowness that he possessed before death because mentally and emotionally no change has occurred, according to the theosophist. Theosophy not a Religion. "Teosophy” said Mr. Rogers “Is ' to physically light the tomb with reason's torch. Theosophy Is not a religion but a phllosophv of all religions and our society invites ministers of every aenomlnutlo.i to attend these lectures.” Mr. Hogers was a newspaper A MOTHER'S TROUBLES A mother’s unending work and devotion drains and strains her physical strength and leaves its mark in dimmed eyes and careworn ex pressions—she ages before her time.
